DREAM
I wake up in the night-
and try with all my might,
but I can't sleep again.
I know it isn't right,
but I lie awake and cry,
though I know we are just friends.
The way you look at me
leads me to believe-
you feel the way I do.
The way we touch when I walk by,
and the soft look in your eye,
makes me think you want me too.
We've been friends for so long now-
I can't remember when or how
I began to feel this way.
But my thoughts must stay unspoken,
because of hearts that may be broken
If my dreams come true someday.
I'll keep my feelings to myself,
keep my heart upon the shelf,
and keep this love locked deep inside.
Because there's nothing I can do
except to dream about you-
like I do most every night.
